Gravy Train Robber
Sep 15, 2007

by zen death robot
I get it, because I remember the last time we played (2012?) we had it down to a science what the optimal moves were and deviation from it was instant suspicion. Its my first time playing with Daybreak/Defcon and I lack most of the meta knowledge. That said I think my actions are sound-

My rationale is that XOs are dangerous in the first round of actions, and I will absolutely cop to making a self-serving play to improve the tools my character has when there are no pressing threats on the board and it is unlikely I will be getting ANY XOs given who my character is. Getting a Quorum hand together to help on subsequent rounds and sparing a low value card I was not going to play seemed a reasonable trade.

I mean Gaius is suspicious but it might possibly be a bit early to start executing people based on that, and morale is valuable in no sympathizer.

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.

I think the problem might be that Baltar is rolling Six a little too hard, if you know what I mean.

I know we don't enforce Turn Order, but that's hardly Fair Play. He's the current player and would play last, on paper, no?

Thats why he said to wait until we find out how much Baltar can play, aka wait till he chimes in on what he has available.

I can play high into this. My point about the poor cards was directed to having low value stuff initially. Its up to you, honestly. I can play and you can tank and my cards are discarded. Either way if I die I lose my hand. Or if someone is going to strat plan the roll then very well, I leave my fate in the hands of chance.

It's up to you. I can play high or not at all.
